Angela Mitchell
I made an appointment through there website and dropped off my car. I was greeted with very friendly staff. I finished my errands and picked up my car 2 hours after drop off and it was ready. They gave me a read out of what they fixed. I would have to say that the whole team is fast and efficient along with friendly.

The name speaks for itself self, the honest one! We had our work van being “worked” at another shop behind theres. The shop ended up closing due to a sheriff’s notice and the honest one help us get our van back in order! They walked over to test the battery for free and took care of it from there. AMAZING SERVICE!

All of the employees at Honest One are friendly and professional. They have helped me successfully maintain my Honda CRV for nine years. I highly recommend anyone wanting a reputable car maintenance establishment to check in with these fine folks.

I was looking to get my car a 60,000 service and I asked a service employee at a local Hyundai dealership. He told me to go to honest 1 in west Bloomington and save a good deal of money. He was right. I saved over $100 and I was very impressed with how they communicated what was going to be done and why. I give them 5 stars and my future business.

Signs you need a battery replacement
If you purchased the battery less than three years ago, it might be replacement time if:
- Your engine is slow to start or not starting
- Dashboard lights are on, but the car won't start
- Your lights seem dimmer than usual
- There's corrosion on the battery terminals
Whether you need a car battery replacement or jump-start, our Roadworthy Experts® are here to keep your ride running longer and more efficiently.
Look out for these battery drainers
- Extreme Temperatures: Both extreme heat and cold can put stress on your battery and wear it out faster
- Lack of Use: Infrequent use or long stretches in the garage means your battery isn't getting a chance to recharge as it should
- Overcharging: Going overboard (often due to a faulty alternator) can overheat and damage the battery
- Corrosion: Corrosion (white or blue gunk) on the battery terminals can mess with the charging process
- Electrical Drain: Leaving lights, electronics, or other gadgets on when the engine is off
Beyond the battery: Your alternators and starter
The alternator gets your engine running, and the starter keeps your battery charged on the go. Issues with these parts can be more challenging to identify, and a car battery replacement won’t fix them. If your alternator or starter faces problems, you might:
- Stall more and more often
- Notice dimmer internal or external lights
- Smell burning rubber or wires
- Hear a growling or whining noise
Schedule Roadworthy Certified® car battery services at an Honest1 near you. Our team won’t just get you back on the road. We’ll make sure you don’t need another charging system checkup again for a while.
